    Suggestion: I would like to bring our region greeting messages back again. If you guys don't remember or know what they are they are the "**Now entering Wilderness" messages we used to get. Except I want to bring them back in a different way, Instead of having them on the wild, have them as a purchasable town feature like a chat channel or a portal.
    Personally I would be willing to pay the same as we pay for most other feature at $40,000 ecodollars per town, and have to repay to have the message changed or colored.
    What I am thinking is that this feature be made available for towns to purchase and have a default message something like "**Now entering <town>**" like we used to have for the wild, but also for an additional amount say like $65,000 users can purchase Custom messages that must meet certain standards ofcourse, such as must contain the town name and contain no offensive/racist/political remarks or messages or something like that, just common sense really.
    There would also be a cost for removing the greeting from the town. I am suggesting the same price as having the default on added, $40,000.
    I think these sorts of rules would be in place for applying for them:
    And the application would go something like this:
    Reason: I know I personally miss the old wilderness messages we used to get, made it easier to tell if I was in a protected area or not but also just because they were cool, I think, and I know quite a number of other users agree, that this would be awesome to have back.
    Not only is this something that a lot of users would want but it would also help remove money from the economy, and I know a lot of people, one person in particular comes to mind, would want to get these messages to label each and everyone of their towns with something fancy.

    Any Other Information: Just that it would be awesome to have this and it would make another thing that would help remove money from the economy.

    Yes jakey I would like to see something like this. Towney/worldguard plugin I believe already has this feature, Andrew probably just needs to re-implement it. But the price I think is a little steep.

    This used to be standard for all towns and the wild, but that got removed.
    This requires an event to be used whenever anyone walks a block. So every time someone walks a block the plugin checks if he's in a region or not. This is a huge impact on server performance. Especially with the massive amount of towns and players on the server.

    +1, it's a small addition that I really want to see happen.

    A cool little addition but as Kuuk said, I think it would cause server performance to be degraded

    I understand that this would cause a little lag, but without the coupled effects of the live map I think we would be fine.

    I don't think you understand the impact it has.
    Every time someone moves a block, worldguard checks if the user is inside ANY region and then another check to see if he was entering or leaving the region. This means it needs to loop through every region we have TWICE to see if he's inside a town.
    Right now this feature is disabled completely, so it doesn't do those checks at all, but with our 3000 worldguard regions and 300 players on the weekend, this WILL gravely affect performance.
